Our Partnerships

Creating opportunities and leaving legacies

Throughout Canada, we have formed partnerships that have started from simple conversations. Before projects are identified or plans are made, our relationships grow from getting to know each other.

In 2008, our joint-venture project with the Fort McKay First Nation, Creeburn Lake Lodge, grossed over $6 million in commercial revenue for local contracting companies.

Recognizing and celebrating talent in the communities we partner with is significant to our success. Supporting community growth through training and education is important to us. We believe this investment leads to growth in a relationship and a prosperous future.
